The car manufacturer in Mioveni made it clear that unity is not only modernized but is a completely new engine. So the naturally aspirated petrol station produces up to ten horsepower more than the unit that will replace, ie a total of 115 hp. And torque increased by 8 Nm, 156 Nm peak now measuring at 4,000 r/m.
Equipped with the new engine and the front-wheel-drive version of Dacia Duster run-up to the first hundred in 11.0 seconds on the dial, while the all-wheel-drive model is more cumbersome, requiring 12.0 seconds for the same period. However this was not the strong point of Duster, so we will not focus too much on time and seconds.
The engine can be coupled with a choice of one of two manual gearboxes with five or six speeds and the start-stop system is offered as standard. Previously, Dacia announced several enhancements to be about 1.5-liter dCi diesel unit, which allowed extracting an added 20 Nm of torque.
